What's specific about winch-out recovery in Powhatan?
SR-288 and US-60 form the commuter spine for Powhatan's growing suburban population, while the county's more rural stretches still generate classic long-distance, unlit-two-lane-road tows at night.

How much does a winch-out cost in Richmond?
A standard winch-out is priced by the operator before we dispatch. A simple pull off a soft shoulder is on the low end. A vehicle stalled deep in standing water, a steep creek bank, or an over-the-edge pull needs more rigging and time, so those are quoted on site once the driver sees the situation, whatever the hour.
My car stalled in standing water - what should I do until you arrive?
Do not try to restart the engine if water reached the intake - cranking a flooded engine causes catastrophic damage. Turn on your hazards, get to safe, dry ground if you can do so without wading through moving water, and wait. If the water is still rising, prioritize getting yourself clear first and tell us when you call.
